4.0 RC on IIS 5.1 Windows XP

Hi There,

I'm trying to run the RC on my IIS 5.1 on Windows XP, but I'm getting error. When I try and browse to the site I get Key not valid for use in specified state.

Hello Jean,

Can we see the stack trace of the error and tell us whether you browse the front end of the website or its backend.

Hi There,

It happens for both front end and backend. Stack trace:

Hello Jean,

Please take a look at this post where I sent a reply with the possible reasons for this issue.

Hi There,

Okay, the suggestion sorted out the problem, but now there is a new error. When I click on the Pages menu item, I get a dialog saying "Resource cannot be found". Any idea what is causing this?

Jean Erasmus

Hi Jean,

Is this project hosted on IIS or you are running it through the project manager? Can you run the project through Visual Studio 2010 and try to replicate the issue. "Resource cannot be found" is no so specific description of the issue you have. When you report some issue that we cannot reproduce it would be better if you can provide some more details - screenshots, steps , stack trace, request and response from the server etc. This will help us to narrow down the particular issue you have and as a result you will get a proper response from us or someone else in the forum.

Hi There,

I created it on IIS using the sitefinity project manager. I think it has something to do with the svc files. I assume that the backend makes use of all the services located under Sitefinity/Services. If I try and browse to the service file e.g. http://localhost/JSE_40/Sitefinity/Services/Pages/PagesService.svc/ I get an 404 error. Yet, other deployments of WCF services is working fine on my machine. I checked the application mappings in IIS and .svc is pointing to the aspnet_isapi.dll. Any idea?

Hi There,

Further to my previous post. I've used Fidler to intercept the calls to the web server and there are the one's failing with 404:

GET l01jeane.jse.co.za/.../ HTTP/1.1

GET l01jeane.jse.co.za/.../ HTTP/1.1

Hi Jean,

Can you run the project through Visual Studio Web server? This looks like some issue with your web server.

- svc mapping
- svc is missing. If you type host/.../help or host/.../ there should be a response from the server.

Hi Jean and Ivan,

I have the same problem, as posted recently (http://www.sitefinity.com/devnet/forums/sitefinity-4-x/general-discussions/wcf-services-not-working-under-iis-5-1.aspx#1434021). Perhaps my findings will help you solve this problem and help us both.

Hi There,

It seems to be diffently somethis to do with REST services on IIS 5.1 with XP, as normal WCF services work fine. I haven't been able to establish what, and have given up. What I did was to download IIS Express and use that on XP to run the sites from.
